Ususally I bring you a history of Highland Park article but
today I’m going to let you look at an article about the Los Angeles Public
Library (http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calindex/documents/14/522809.pdf).
The article is titled Biggest Lender in the
West and briefly described with “9,000,000 Books a Year: A Report to the People
of Los Angeles on their Public Library.”
It was put together in 1955 and provides a snapshot of current and
projected library use and uses. Most
interestingly it is filled with absolutely charming graphic images. I’d say take a look at it if only to admire
these drawings.
